Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7 \ protons}}

Step-by-step explanation:

On the Periodic Table, Nitrogen is:

  • A nonmetal
  • In group 15 and period 2
  • With an atomic mass of 14.007 amu
  • With the atomic number 7

In elements, their atomic number is also equal to the number of protons. As the number of protons in an atom change, so does the identity of the atom.

Since nitrogen has an atomic number of 7, it must always have 7 protons
